Rio Bravo Ranch is a family owned ranch that borders the Rio Grande and Casa Piedra Road. We have cultured a love for camping and the outdoors on this ranch as children and young adults. One day we were sitting on "the backside," enjoying the amazing vistas, solitude and a campfire when the idea came to us that we should share this amazing place with others seeking this type of experience. We tried to think about what makes camping enjoyable to us - no immediately adjacent campers, a nice fire ring/shade structure, a nice, large tent site and vistas with unobstructed views. We have incorporated this into our campground design which, when completely finished, will encompass several hundred acres of Chihuahuan desert vistas. We are also fortunate enough to have a large riparian area on the property. It is in this area, amongst the 40ft tall cottonwood and willows, we often find Gambel's Quail, Scaled Quail, Javelina and numerous bird species including the occasional turkey. We would love nothing more than to share this wonderful place, where we grew up, with souls seeking solitude, adventure and inspiration. Our eastern entrance is just a few miles outside the Big Bend Ranch State Park boundary, conveniently located on Casa Piedra road about 1.6 miles north of FM 170.

We offer a uniquely secluded setting with stunning views of the Chisos Mountains. Located just 7 miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park, and 10 miles from the visitors' center at Big Bend Ranch State Park, it is a perfect base from which to explore all the hiking, boating, and scenic beauty that West Texas is known for. The arts, history, and entertainment of Terlingua Ghost Town are less than 2 miles away.
Like most ruins in the Ghost Town, my stone house was built in the early 1900s to house a miner’s family from the nearby Rainbow Mine. I bought the property in 1986 and began restoring and rebuilding. In 2019 I retired here from NYC and began exploring possibilities for sustainable tourism.
West Texas is one of the best places in the United States to view the Milky Way (both Big Bend parks are certified as International Dark Sky parks). We use shielded LED lighting around buildings and pathways to cut down on light pollution and optimize stargazing opportunities for our astrotourists. And we are applying for dark sky certification from the Texan By Nature program.
Bear in mind that this is the desert, in all its rugged glory. There are critters, rocks, plants with thorns, slippery slopes, sink holes, rusted artifacts and broken glass from decades long past. Bring sturdy shoes and a flashlight, and stay on the paths!
Our intention is to provide remote, low-density accommodation for folks who are respectful of the land.

This is a primitive campground and home of the iconic Big Bend Tardis inspired landmark Box 118 as featured in Texas Highways. Perfect for self-contained Overlander, van-life, or pop-up style campers, with dumpster access. Stop here after your long drive before your adventures as we are located in a most convenient place with easy access to Big Bend and Terlingua. Located right on Hwy 118 on Terlingua Ranch, the property offers awesome views, bright stars, and quiet evenings with outstanding sunsets and moonrises.
https://texashighways.com/culture/a-doctor-who-tardis-appears-outside-big-bend-national-park/
A convenience store and a spot to grab food and a beer are located very close to the site. A dumpster is available onsite.
What makes this a great spot is the location—Big Bend is an enormous area, and travel times can be significant, but from our site you won’t have to drive far to settle in for the night and get going the next day on your Big Bend exploration. The park entrance is about 25 minutes away.
The sites are simple desert terrain with natural desert scrub—no paved pads. Native burros frequently browse the property, so expect to see wild donkeys. All sites are located behind an access gate and are individually marked.

Rancho del Cuervo — 5 Acres of Dark Sky Desert at the Edge of Big Bend
Welcome to the edge of nowhere worth finding. Rancho del Cuervo sits on 5 private acres in Terlingua, Texas - one of the last truly dark sky destinations in the continental United States. Big Bend National Park is a 24-minute drive from your campsite.
This is primitive camping the way it's supposed to be: wide open desert, unobstructed 360° views, and a night sky so dense with stars you'll forget what light pollution looks like. The Milky Way isn't a maybe here - it's the main event.
What you get:
• Your own private patch of Chihuahuan Desert - no neighbors stacking on top of you
• Flat, cleared area suitable for tents, overlanders, or small RVs
• True off-grid solitude - no hookups, no Wi-Fi, no distractions
What's nearby:
• Big Bend National Park entrance - 24 min
• Terlingua Ghost Town - restaurants, live music, the famous porch scene
• Study Butte - gas, groceries, supplies
• Santa Elena Canyon, Boquillas Hot Springs, the Window Trail - all within striking distance
• Starlight Theatre and the Boathouse - two of the best middle-of-nowhere restaurants in Texas
Best for:
Stargazers, photographers, hikers using Big Bend as a base camp, overlanders passing through, writers looking for silence, and anyone who needs to remember what dark and quiet actually feel like.
Good to know:
This is real desert. Bring all your water, pack out all your trash, and come prepared for temperature swings - hot days, cool nights, and wind that reminds you the land was here first. Cell service is limited (AT&T/T-Mobile have spotty coverage; Starlink users do well).
The desert doesn't perform for you. It just is. That's the whole point.
Your booking costs go directly to property upgrades. Already on the books are plans for Arched Cabins, community hang out areas, and more!

Cool, offbeat campground within a short walk to Ghosttown. Friendly, helpful owner Elena on site . Dog friendly. Natural landscaping. No facilities so bring in plenty of water. Hard to find after dark and with minimal signing so arrive before dusk. Enjoyed two nights here with insane stargazing.

Jackass Flats is a great camping spot close to Big Bend NP, but out of the hubbub of the park or tourist hubs like Study Butte. Twenty miles from the park border, they have four RV spots with optional water and electricity. And you’re camped at one of the very few stores in the Big Bend area. The host, Pam, and the store staff are friendly, helpful and prompt to reply to requests and questions. Though Jackass Flats is on one of the main roads to Big Bend, traffic noise is minimal, especially at night. I would gladly stay there again if visiting Big Bend NP.

Elena’s park is a bit of a gem. Not huge but it was perfect for us. We just purchased a new Casita and needed a place near Big Bend to check things out.
On our first night, there was a blip in electric service. She came over to help troubleshoot with no luck, and then service was back. Turns out, the electric company was at fault.
The day before we left, our fresh water tank was empty. Elena went above and beyond in helping to fill our tank.
About the only downside in coming in off the highway, the road is rough and rutted, but not the fault of Elena.

Great quiet basecamp for your adventures into either park. No issues with Elena’s dogs. She answered any questions quickly and made it easy for me to extend my trip a day.

My family of 5 plus a dog rolled in to our campsite early afternoon and had no trouble finding it with Lauren's helpful instructions. The site is surrounded on 3 sides by a steep drop into arroyos - worth noting if you have kids. The older kids (6 and 8) loved scrambling up and down and all around but it was too steep for the littlest one. The tent site was level and relatively free of big rocks, the ground is hard scrabble so you will probably want your tent pegs that screw in or maybe your mallet. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed wandering around on the property every night after dinner. The potty is far enough away that you will probably want to drive if you have little kids who can't hold it for a 10 minute walk, but we enjoyed being far enough away that we felt truly in the middle of nowhere. The other campsites aren't far, but they are far enough that you don't need to interact with your neighbors. Our pup enjoyed running around the place as much as the kids.

I loved that it is a smaller rv/campground. I travel in a Class B RV and the site was a good size with nice desert landscaping in between sites. Electric worked flawlessly and the pea gravel really keeps the dust down, it’s also a great location to Terlingua Ghost town and awesome views of the Chisos Mountains. Elena was great at communicating with me. I will back again some day and stay at Jo mommas!

The site was a walkable distance to Venga (great breakfast spot) and to Terlingua ghost town. Quiet, dark, amazing starry nights!

The most beautiful stars I’ve ever seen! Not a cloud in the sky. I was truly blessed. Thanks again John! Instructions were crystal clear and helped immensely since I arrived at night. I would highly recommend and will probably visit again!

This was the perfect place for us! The ladies at the store were helpful and kind. We had an amazing time during our stay, seeing the stars with very little light pollution, enjoying a campfire, and the solitude. Our dogs loved being free, free to roam a bit as well. The location was perfect for checking out the neighboring town of Terlingua. We love art and spent the day exploring the different art studios. The next day we made the short drive a bit further to explore Big Bend National Park. If you like camping in more rural places and exploring off the beaten trail this place is absolutely perfect. It had the essentials, bathroom and water, well kept, without the crowds of traditional state park camping. We will definitely be back!
